Museum History

 

Richard and Ethel Seiverling soon after the Museum was built.

The Museum and Collection were started in 1991 by Richard and Ethel Seiverling, with 5 Classic cars and one pedal car, and in the past 15 years the collection has changed to 3 Classic cars and as high as 162 pedal cars from all over the world.  As the collection grew, so did the teddy bear "drivers" also.  Richard personally showed the collection to thousands of people over the years, from small two to five people groups to full charter bus tours.  Richard passed away in late 2006 and he is deeply missed by family and freinds alike.  In 2006 the museum when Online with this website and in 2008 the museum was renamed to Seiverling Museum, LLC Car and Pedal Car Museum.  With the changing of the museum name the Seiverling Family is ready to start a new chapter in the legacy of the museum.
